.'".:, . ... v REPORT OF THE

DIVISION OF li'U'ilGRATI ON AND AFRICANIZATION

FOR THE YEAR "
JULY 1, 1968 TO JUNE 30, 1969

This year brings to a close fifty- two years of service the Division of
Immigration and Americanization has been rendering in the Commonwealth in
"bringing into sympethetic and mutually helpful relations the Commonwealth
and its residents of foreign origin, and generally promoting their assimi-
lation and naturalization." Established in 1917 as "the Bureau of immigration
in 1919 it became the Division of immigration and Americanization as part of
the Department of Education.

From 1919 until 1965 the Division was under the Department of Education
and since 1965 under the Board of Higher Education with the' 'enactment of
Chapter 572. Its duties and functions havf remained the same through the
years.

Ore million six hundred fifty-seven thousand services have been given
through our offices located in Boston, Fall River, Lawrence, Springfield,
and Worcester. Our records indicate 16^981 services in 1920 with steady
increases shown and the total for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1969 was
47,112. Our largest amount of services recorded was in 1940 - 53,633 - the
year of initiation of the Alien Registration Act. The work of the Division
is intensified and varied with world situations and economics of war, de-
pression and enactment of various immigration, citizenship and general social
welfare laws.

In a state which ranks seventh in number of aliens with 40% of the
population of "foreign stock" as defined in the 1960 United States census
reports (foreign born persons and those with foreign born parents) m u te
testimony is denoted of the far-reaching and great demand for our services.
In January 1969, 160,049 aliens registered in Massachusetts under the alien
registration requirements of which 145,800 are permanent residents. The
1968 registration recorded 149,654 of which 136,632 were permanent, an
increase of over 9,000 permanent residents.

NUMBER OF SER VICES

■ i ' ■■■ !■■■ i » m ■ m

Of the 47,112 services recorded in our statistics this year, the Boston
Office shows 25,151; Fall River 4,674; Lawrence 7,262; Springfield 4,190;
and Worcester 5,835. Of the total services, 9,743 concerned immigration
matters, no doubt because of the immigration Act of 1965. Helping in re-
union of families and giving information regarding labor clearances required
now in so many cases were a great part of these services.

NATIONALITIES OF CLIENTS

Of the some one hundred eight countries of birth, as we recorded nation-
alities of clients, services given to Italians were equal to those given
Portuguese (including Cape Verde Island) - 4924 and 4921 respectively. The
increase in the Portuguese was a result of the recent immigration law per-
mitting reunion of families. There had been many Portuguese awaiting their
turns. The Italians remain about the same because their quotas have been
oversubscribed, especially in the fifth preference category (brothers and
sisters), for many years. Next in number were Canada 3795; United States

born 3721 (many United States born citizens make affidavits sponsoring their
relatives from abroad, as they are usually first generation born Americans;
and a number of U.S. born marry persons from abroad also) ; Cuba 3549. Al-
though the new influx of Cubans is not as numerous as previously, we are now
assisting the Cubans in becoming American citizens as well as in making
papers to send for relatives from Spain, etc., via Mexico and through Jamaica,
Other nationalities over one thousand.

IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS"
Our greatest number of applicants come in matters of immigration in-
formation on procedures; and various aspects of the laws were explained to
9,743 such persons in our offices last year.

The Act of October 3, 1965, with abolition of national origins quota
systems and substitution of a world-wide system of preferences achieved its
objective of wiping out barriers to family reunions (except for Italian
brothers and sisters classified in fifth" "preference category) in Eastern
Hemisphere where the total of 170,000 immigrants yearly with 20,000 as" ceil-
ing for each country ruled. Those countries having benefited most from
implementation of the Act of October 1965 are Italy, Portugal, Spain, and
most of the southern European countries as well as the Philippines, China,
Korea, Japan, and India. These were the countries heavily oversubscribed
and most of which had the limitation of 100 numbers and, in" this transition
interim period, they were able to take advantage of pool numbers and the
20,000 per country limitation.

The 1968 figures for immigrants destined to Massachusetts show the
great number of Portuguese admitted to this State as a result of petitions
made by relatives. The bulk of immigrants to Massachusetts are in this
category reunited with their families by petitions in the preference
category or on applications (Forms 1-550) to have evidence of legal resi-
dence sent (as those in the Western Hemisphere) to American Consuls.

Our many residents of Cape Verde origin, especially in New Bedford and
Fall River, are concerned and their brothers and sisters as well'as friends
in skilled categories are waiting now an indefinite period of time for
visas. Spouses and children who are classified in second preference are
more fortunate and last year we recorded '4,921 services performed for
persons* of Portuguese ethnic background, mostly concerned with immigration
problems.

The bulk of immigrants in the past to our State were from Canada but
with the ceiling of 120,000 immigrants yearly coming from the Western
Hemisphere, there is a changing pattern. In 1965 before this law came into
effect, to the United States were admitted 40,013 Canadians and Massachusett:
received 4,114. In 1969, 15,722 Canadians came to the United States and
Massachusetts received 2,015. There are twenty-four independent countries
in the W e stern Hemisphere to draw on this quota; there are no preferences;
and'the labor clearance restrictions have discouraged or prevented many
from getting in line and waiting months, as is the present situation, for
their turns in the quota.

For *any it has been possible to change status in the United States.
Students and graduates of colleges with necessary degrees or qualifying
experience, eligible for preference categories, are among the 931 cases we
assisted in our offices last year V 166 of whom our social workers repre-
sented at hearings at the U.S. Immigration Service.

A number of these were persons temporarily in the United States who
married citizens'or legal alien residents, making it possible to adjust in
this manner. Some, brothers and sisters of U. S. citizens, had come to the
United States as tourists and then wanted to take the opportunity of resi-
dence application.

Many skilled workers, visitors here were able to qualify under sixth
preference and availability of quota numbers permitted such applications.

Several spouses under Exchange status were successful in obtaining
necessary waivers and applied for adjustment under Section 245 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended.

In the past ten years, 135,858 immigrants were admitted to Massachusetts,

PROBLEMS OF THE

NEWCOMER

534

To each family" 'arriving in Massachusetts fro«* abroad, a letter of
weTcome is sent from our offices to make known the services offered by the
Commonwealth to newcomers. Last year over ten thousand such letters were
mailed from our five offices'. We note that about 10% of the letters are
returned, undelivered, as the alien has left the original* address of
destination, although the letters are sent within a few months of entry.

Replies to our letters request information on educational opportuni-
ties, housing, schools, employment changes, translation of documents to be
used in evaluation of education, as well as questions on draft, citizenship
and reunion With* 'families from abroad. Many write .us in their own*
languages, predominantly Spanish as such numbers came recently from Spanish
speaking countries of Latin America.

During the past two years it has been estimated "that under the labor
clearance requirements, seventy per cent of those admitted were live-in
maids, Massachusetts having received its qjiota* Many donvesties in the

Commonwealth, married and single," left families behind. After some months
of working and "saving", they came to us for assistance in sending for their (
spouses and children. One such applicant from the West Indies had twelve
children whom she was to have* 'join her, a few at a time. She was waiting
for her year to be U p as a domestic, as she had promised; had rented an
apartment in the same building as an aunt; and was planning work in a
hospital so she could be home nights. She awaits now the arrival of the'two
eldest, 15 and 14. At least the children and spouses of such legally admitted
residents have priority of their mother's visa registration and the wait to
come to the United States, if they show adequate support available, is not too
long

Some young ladies return to the West Indies on vacation and marry their
fiances. After they are assisted in making the proper Form 1-550 to have
the Consul notified of their legal residence in the United States, with
affidavit of support, the long wait to have the spouse join her in the
United States begins. Eight or nine months' wait has been usual lately
and, in the meantime, the wife has often inquired in hopes of getting new
information to expedite the husband's arrival*

In instances where the legally resident aliens have married visitors
from countries of the Western Hemisphere, we have been able to assist the
spouses in getting visa applications at United States Consulates in Canada.
The U.S. Immigration officials have been generous in extensions of time to
keep the families together.

Our statistics show that we filled" "844 Forms 1-550, required by the
alien residents in sending for their families, particularly in the Western

Hemisphere,

VTSITORES FROM ABROAD

i*iany friends and relatives of aliens in Massachusetts come from Spanish
speaking countries of the Western Hemisphere as visitors. Many have approached
us for information on becoming residents. Explanation has been given regard-
ing labor clearances and showing experience, skills. This has proved an
obstacle for young',* unskilled workers from Ecuador, Guatemala, Dominican
Republic, etc., temporarily in the United States.

We assisted in "filling 785 applications in their desire for an exten-
sion of time. The majority of these are "granted but in certain" "cases it
appears that the person wants to be an immigrant and no more time is given.
Our workers* "have assisted persons in applications for job* clearances as well
as helping many prospective employers "in execution of Forms ES-575, Part
B, and the preference application forms 1-140 required for Europeans, etc.

Since no adjustment in the United S*t*ates is possible for persons from
the Western Hemisphere, the potential immigrant is greatly disappointed and
hard to convince that he must return to his home in El Salvador, Guatemala,
etc. , or Canada and wait many months for his turn in the quota in order to
return t*6 the United States. The educated engineer as well as the skilled
cabinet maker and the needed hospital work'er must all wait their turns
abroad. Employe rs**have been dissuaded from filing applications for
certification for many thousands of low-skilled workers because they knew

the occupations were not certifiable. Employers have frequently raised
the wages and working conditions they offered alien workers to the prevail-
ing wages and working conditions required by the Department of Labor before
an application can be approved,, &

As visitors, such persons have the advantage of personal contact with
prospective employers and can 'present their qualifications for the job
opportunities. However, a number of unskilled young people have been unable
to get jobs on the original list which the Department of Labor has deleted,
as* 'hospital attendant, etc. "Prospects of gaining job' 'clearances are be-
coming remote now when the employer realizes that he must wait months before'
the employee will be available legally to work at the job offered, since he
must go out and return from abroad.

CUBANS

Federal reports estimate four thousand Cubans monthly arrive at Florida
from Havana, destined to various addresses. Cuban's continue coming to
join relatives in Massachusetts, The bulk of the** in Massachusetts since
1962, have become residents of the United States. Many in the past year we
have assisted in filing applications for citizenship. The 1969 Alien
Registration list 2,599 of them in Massachusetts but estimates by various
groups show larger figures.

It has been interesting to note changes in their places of residence
fron» apartments in town and now many to suburbia as prosperity catches up
with them.

Last year we assisted 729 Cubans to fill necessary 'forms to become
residents. ""In this area, applications filed for adjustment of status with
the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, Boston, have been stalled
in that* Service for lack of personnel * 'to process the applications. A
great many"of the applications filed months ago have had no hearings as yet.
Western 'Hemisphere quota applications from this area are not, therefore,
takgin many of the numbers of the 120,000 as other areas, as Florida, are
doing where Cubans have been admitted faster.

Many of the families continue making applications for their relatives
to come via Mexico, Spain and Jamaica. With parents and minor children, it
has not been too long a procedure but to comply with labor clearances for
brothers and sisters has been a problem for relatives in the United States.

The Department of State and the Immigration and Naturalization
Service recently . agreed to extend the present pre -parole procedures of
Cuban refugees who have fled to Spain, Mexico, and other countries to two
additional categories. It is hoped that the new procedure will help
alleviate the considerable waiting period'b'f Cuban refugees for visa numbers
since institution of the 120,000 annual immigration ceiling on Western
Hemisphere immigration. The new categories are:

1. Unaccompanied Cuban boys and girls under 18
years of age who are related by blood to grand-
parents, aunts, uncles, or adult brothers or
sisters in* "the United States who are citizens,
lawful permanent residents, or are here in
indefinite voluntary departure or parole status,
provided such relatives in the United States
are able to financially support such children.

2. Cuban refugees, regardless of place of birth,
who are parents, spouses, or children of aliens
Lawfully admitted into the United states for
permanent residence.

No reTative in the United States receiving financial assistance from
any governmental source will be considered eligible to sponsor entry into the
United States of a refugee abroad.

As to why Cuban refugees outside the United States neede certifications
while those in the United States do not, it was pointed out "t*hat exemption
of Cubans in the United States was based on the Labor Departments liberal
interpretation of the law that. Cuban refugees in the United States were not
entering; in order to take employment because they were already in the United
States and therefore were not competing. Technically under the laws, Cubans
coming to the United States from Spain, Mexico, Jamaica are not seeking asyluir
and therefore tKe exemption from labor clearances granted refugees is not
extended to them.

CITIZENSHIP PROBLEMS

The interests of the Nation "and of the Commonwealth are well served
when the immigrant has become familiar with our social and political customs
and ideals to be wel'l* informed, to seek naturalization, and to take active
participation in community affairs* In addition to the requirement of five
years* residence, the alien must be able to read and write English and have
a knowledge of this country *s history, government, and Constitution. ..

Many Massachusetts communities conduct programs in evening schools and
through our letters to newcomers, we of£er information on these convenient
classes.

Oar booklet, "The Constitution of the United States" with questions
and answers in preparation for citizenship, distributed yearly in the amount
of ten thousand, assists many.

During the year 1969, in this Commonwealth, 4,085 persons were admitted
to'U.S. citizenship. Our offices assisted 1,572 in such applications. They
comprised a* 'cross section of many countries and occupations, the elderly, the
young, and more women than men. The following chart of numbers naturalized
in the past ten years in Massachusetts is informative:

1969 1968 1967 1966 1965

Incentive to become a citizen for a number Of Italian immigrants was their
great desire to have their married children join them in the United States.
Because of the Italian quota situation, they had been unable to join their
parents here who Had come to the United States on an approved petition of a
daughter who had married a U.S. citizen while he was abroad. Several wanted
citizenship to be able to apply for public housing; a number to be able to
practice their profession, as pharmacist, "doctor, nurse, or to get a license
as'realtor. Declaration of Intention forms to the number of 107 were
completed for persons who required them for job applications.

Two hundred seventy-five deriving citizenship through their parents
applied for certificates in their own names* "to prove their rights to
United States citizenship. A number of th>en became aware of this necessity
when they found it imperative to prove this fact in their desire to travel
and get a U.S. passport.

This year, with the passage of legislation permitting naturalization
to persons having honorable service during the Vietnam hostilities, many
Philippine navy men were allowed to be naturalized and we assisted them in
filing applications. Public Law 90-369 was enacted as a result of admittance
to citizenship in Massachusetts of the widow of a Vietnam veteran killed
in service while her petition was pending. This law, approved' 'June 30, 1968
by the President, provides that the death of a citizen serviceman during the
period of honorable service in the armed forces does not preclude the alien
spouse 's naturalization and exempts her from the naturalization requirement
of residence and physical presence in the United States.

Many bills for change in naturalization laws were introduced in Congress
last year. Among these, hopefully awaited by many elderly "afraid 1 ' of the
naturalization examination, is the proposed legislation to permit aliens

over fifty years of "age, "having twenty years 1 residence, to become natural-
ized, exempting them from the requirements of speaking, reading and writing
English.

Other suggestions regarding age of eligibility to derivative citizen-
ship through one parent and changing legal presence in the United States
to age 18 i ns tead of 16, as now required, are under consideration.

Co-operation continues with many private and public social agencies
to our mutual benefits. Assistance of and relationship with officials of
the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service have been most valuable
and beneficial . Leaders of several ethnic groups have "called for assistance
for information on immigration laws, and for encouragement to members in
becoming naturalized. Our agents have taken part in radio talks on the
work of this Division.

Massachusetts, a pioneer in <*any field, realizes it responsibility to
foreign born here and and since the establishment or* this Division in
1917, the directive to "bring into sympathetic and mutually helpful re-
lations the Commonwealth and its residents of foreign origin" has been the
aim of the Division with ever increasing services rendered yearly and is
symbolic of assistance advocating'under standing of the principles and ideals
of the United States government, making for a better Commonwealth and deeper
respect for our Nation.

REPORT OF BRANCH OFFICES

SPRINGFIELD DISTRICT

For the year ending June 30, 1*969, 4,190 services were performed for
2,669 individuals* 'who sought information, advice and assistance from the
Division, The complexity of applications and an ever increasing technicality
of rulings have made our work highly technical. Therefore numbers served
are not important in measuring the value of services.

Individuals came to us from 54 communities* *in the area under our juris-
diction. In addition we had correspondence from 43 former residents now liv-
ing elsewhere in this country.

Of the 84 nationalities recorded*/ Canadians head the list followed in
order by natives of United States, Jamaica, Greece, Germany, Ibrtugal, Great
Britain, Ireland and Barbados.

During the year 546 contact were made* with newly arrived immigrants
welcoming them and advising tKera of the" 'numerous services available to them by
our Commonwealth. Of this number 81 came to reside in Berkshire County, 2*1
in Franklin, 389 in Hampden and 55 in Hampshire. Response from them was most
encouraging as well as gratifying. Without exception they expressed their
thanks for the interest shown in offering assistance to adjust to their new

way of life.

- • - *

As has been the case for many years, the major potption of our work comes
under the heading of Immigration such as explaining the laws and procedures
for sponsoring relatives and assisting with the preparation of forms of
petitions, affidavits of support and "applications for adjustment. We were
instrumental in arranging with the American Consul at St. John, New Brunswick,
Canada, for issuance of immigrant Visas to 15 persons. These individuals were
natives of countries in the Western Hemisphere who had entered the United States
on a temporary basis. All these cases were rather" involved, representing many
services performed for each individual as well as many hours of labor before
each case was brought to a conclusion.

One of our cases, most interesting as well as urgent, concerned a recently
naturalized citizen, a former native of a European country, who was interested
in bringing her retarded child to the United States. Within a few days of her
naturalization, she approached us with the following problem*:**' She related to
us that she was planning to leave the United States in the immediate future
to visit in her country of birth and while there hoped to make the necessary
arrangements to attempt to bring her ten year old son with her upon her return
to the United States. She explained, that she had but two Weeks to be abroad
and that would be during the period that her husband was on vacation and able
to care for their other children. Then, too, "she stated that she had to
return to the United States within the above-mentioned period as she had a
thirteen year old daughter w to was to undergo open heart surgery at Boston. We
are happy to report that we were able to advise and assist her so that she
realized her goal and the child is now residing with her.

Another case worth noting is that referred to us by a member of our
Legislature which involved a native of Canada admitted to the United States
as a visitor. Subsequent* to her arrival she was married to a native born
citizen. Prior to her coming to the United States both she and her fiance
had approached an American Consulate in Canada and obtained the* necessary
advice on how-to get an immigrant visa. After interviewing them, we found
that several months had elapsed and they had failed to comply with any of
the instructions given them by the Consul. After we took over her case,
she received an appointment within two weeks to appear at the appropriate
Consular office.

Another interesting case concerned a native of Czechoslovakia who
managed to flee that country after the occupation.* She entered the United
States as a visitor and immediately sought adjustment of her status to that
of a permanent resident.

This year we had an unusual number of people apply for Alien Regis-
tration Receipt Cards stating that the original 1-151 has been stolen
either from their pocketbooks and wallets, or as a result of their automo-
biles being broken into.

We were called upon to advise and assist several adults in obtaining
Certificates of Citizenship, as proof of United States citizenship was re-
quired before a U. S. Passport could'~be issued. In each instance, reser-
vations for transportation had been made and each individaul had waited
until the last moment to apply for a passport.

Again trhis year we corresponded with both the* United States Department
of State, Washington, D. C and the United States Immigration and Naturaliza-
tion Service to obtain adjudication of citizenship status of native born
citizens who while living abroad had lost citizenship either by voting or
military service.

The District Agent attended final naturalization hearings at Spring-
field and was pleased to witness as well as to congratulate those success-
ful candidates for citizenship whose' "applications originated in our office.
He also attended with other staff members an Immigration Conference and
Workshop sponsored by the International Institute of Boston at which ranking
officials of the United States Department of Labor briefed us on recent*
changes in rules and regulations pertaining to issuing of immigrant visas.

We wish to emphasize that we continue to enjoy splendid cooperation
with the following: District jjirector, Immigration and Naturalization
Service, Boston, and their staff at Springfield; United States Department
of State; United States Consulates; Clerks of Superior Courts in our area.

In addition we receive splendid cooperation from both public and
private agencies in our area.

WORCESTER DISTRICT

Again we attained our substantial annual par of services, numbering
5835 for 3384 clients.

Even though I don't agree with him," to point out the complex nature of
our work, I would like to quote a statement by a well known Immigration
expert whose article has been printed in the Interpreter Releases, an
official information service on immigration, naturalization and related
problems: '""The immigration statutes of the United States are among the worst,
longest, most ambiguous, complicated, illogical, undemocratic and arbitrary
laws" in the world." * Daily, we have to explain these" laws and try to clarify
them to persons in all walks of life, citizens, permanent resident aliens,
refugees, parolees, and visitors, who are interested in their own particular
case and not the over all picture," at the same time selecting and assisting
them with" "the correct form or forms to handle their particular case. But,
only an immigration worker ©.an fully comprehend the human and technical
situations that we encounter.

Except for Italy, Public Law 89-236 solved the close relative problem
for the Eastern Hemisphere, but U.S. citizens having brothers and sisters
born in Canada or other Western Hemisphere countries are annoyed over the
fact that they cannot petition for them, as from other sections of the world.

This year, as the past few we spent a considerable length of time explai
ing and giving out a myriad number of ES- 5 75, Employment Certification Forms,
i"n carder that extremely needed professional, skilled and unskilled workers
might emigrate to this state and country. Except for Exchange Visitors,
many students graduating in a professional field from colleges in the
Worcester area have been able to remain without leaving the United States.
Skilled and semi-skilled persons from the Caribbean area have qualified,
while previously they had difficulty under other procedures.

Travelers to the Worcester area from all over the world have increased
due to a more lenient policy by the U.S. Department" of State in issuing such
tourist visas, and residents are traveling abroad more than ever. Visitors
come into our office* for applications for extension of stay and with
questions about permanent visas or change of status. In fact, the stickers

seen on cars stating "International Visitor, Seeing the U.S.A. Kindly
Extend All Courtesies," reiterate the policy of our Division. The City
Passport office has issued about 1,200 more U.S. Passports during a six
month period compared to five years ago that is, 2,854 compared to 1,594.
Needless to say, many vacationers and business people, especially the ones ^
going" to visit Canada, call us about the necessary identification and
documentation.

As expected, more visitors mean more adjustment of status cases. In one
family the fifth member became a permanent resident through this fairly
lengthy procedure. The family's case history started in July 1955 when" one
of them remained after marrying a citizen, later becoming a citizen himself
and helping out the others with affidavits of support and petitions. His
sister has forty-one sheets in her case folder, that is, copies of necessary
forms and correspondence with the Immigration Service and the U.S. Consulate,
Montreal, Canada.

As far as we know, we had the distinction of having the only case in -:>•
this district of a wo»an visitor from the U.S.S.R., applying for adjustment
of status and remaining here.

The Worcester area comprises persons of all ethnic backgrounds and
the problems of the foreign born in reunion with their families and
assimilation in their new homes are many." The gratitude of our clients as
well as knowing "good Americans" in the making are incentives for continu-
ation of assistance in complex problems.

♦

LAWRENCE DISTRICT

The Lawrence District office completed the fiscal year ending June 30,
1969, with a record number of services rendered clients. Furthermore, in
its some fifty years of existence, the Lawrence office served more people in
this past fiscal year than in any other single year. Our services were
7,262 to 3,021 individuals.

As in the past years, information pertaining to immigration was the
service most frequently given. The restrictive regulations of the U.S.
Department of Labor, especially toward natives of the Western Hemisphere,
are continuing to plague our Canadian and Latin clients. Separated families
cannot be reunited as it is easier for an employer to bring a maid from
Europe than for an American citizen to bring a brother from Canada. The
excessive waiting period a prospective employee from a Western Hemisphere
country must undergo before being allowed entry into the United States to
go to work for an employer is discouraging.

For example, a textile manufacturer found it impossible to find "compe-
tent loomfixears in the United states and expected papers for five loomfixers
from Canada. He had one hundred looms in the weaving room and five? loom-
fixers. A loomfixer can adequately care for ten looms. Because of the no
preference category in the quota for Western Hemisphere, these persons on the
waiting list must now wait some eleven months for their turn to come to the
United States and fifty loofts ^ust regain idle for one year. Weavers, bobbin
hands, and sweepers are laid off for lack of work. The manufacturer can
guarantee only half of the orders he has received. This is just one isolated
instance know to the Lawrence office. We feel sure the sa^e situation is
being repeated throughout the country. There seemingly are inequities for
persons coming from the Western Hemisphere.

In our citizenship work, it has* been a source of satisfaction to us to
realize that this office was instrumental in assisting over 95% of the
foreign born in the Merrimack Valley in their efforts to become American
citizens. This Agent attended all naturalization sessions held in Lowell and
Lawrence.

In the field of public relations, this Agent instituted a series of
sessions with employers and foreign visitors, explaining the procedures
involved in applying for labor certifications, visa petitions, and changes
of status. At one session in Lowell, there were over 100 in attendance.

Other services rendered included the sending of letters of welcome to all
newcomers in this area, We have made innumerable translations of documents
from Arabic, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Latin, both for this office
and for other offices of the Division. Individuals coming to this office with
problems other than immigration or citizenship have been referred to proper
sources usually preceded by a telephone call or letter of reference. Our

relations with various private and public agencies, as well as with Consular
offices abroad, are continuing on a most favorable plane.

Whenever we submit request for publicity to the Lowell and Lawrence
radio stations and newspapers, their responses ahve been most agreeable.

In the past few years the requests to this office for service have
increased tremendously. We have been fortunate in obtaining the aid of one
and sometimes two young ladies from the Neighborhood Youth Corps for clerical
work at no cost to the Commonwealth. This has worked out mutually beneficial
as training to the volunteer and releasing our clerical overload. Our
services have solved and are continuing to solve the problems of individuals
who really have no other place to turn.

FALL RIVER DISTRICT

During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1969, the Fall River office
rendered a total of 4,674 services to clients. This is an increase of 503
services over the previous year. A total of 2,648 individuals received our
services, an increase of 239, for the' past fiscal year. These clients came
from 43 separate localities of the Commonwealth and the bulk of these client s
were from the area of Southeastern Massachusetts.

We note that "ore services this year were given regarding U.S. citizen-
ship than last year. Applications to be naturalized showed an increase - more
citizens petitioned to have their children be naturalized because of the one
parent's citizenship - also more persons applied to get proof of U.S. citizen-
ship in application for Certificate of Derivative Citizenship.

Immigration problems in this area always predominate because of the
large Portuguese Nationality group here and under recent legislation it has
been possible for families and relatives to be united. We assisted more
persons in filing visa petitions to gain preference, there was an increase
of visitors to the United States whom we helped in application for extensions
of temporary stay, we also aided more persons in change of status cases to
become permanent residents in the United States.

There has been a large influx of new immigrants located in Southeastern
Massachusetts emigrating from the Azores and Cape Verde Islands, Portugal.
The Portuguese ethnic groups are at present the predominating nationality in
this district.

During the past fiscal year, there has been a grassroot influx, namely
immigrants from the Philippines and South America. There have been thousands
of servicemen from the Philippines who did not have legal permanent residence
in the United States and were not entitled to United States citizenship. Dur-
ing the past session of Congress an Act was passed providing that the service-
man enlisted or reenlisted after February 28, 1961 is now eligible for
immediate naturalization. Numerous Philippines nationals have taken ad-
vantage of this and all forms and documentation were completed at the Fall
River Office for many.

Newcomer letters are sent to individuals upon their arrival in the
United States informing them of the whereabouts of this office and also of
our immigration and citizenship services. Response from these letters and
expressions of gratitude are most gratifying.

New immigration quotas have opened the door for thousands of aliens
who for years were waiting their turn to enter the United States. Many are
now in the United States and many more are in the process of coming. This
Fall River office served clients from fifty nations and, as we stated before,
the major ethnic nationality is Portuguese.

We have made weekly visits to New Bedford, Massachusetts, for assistance
in applicants there. The Case load is heavy due to the fact that there has
been no State Immigration office since 1939, nor a Federal immigration Service
since 1953. Our attendance at Court for final naturalization lends precedence
to the functions of the Agency. We have had excellent coopeaation throughout
the. year in our relations with American Consuls, > State Department, Federal
Immigration and Naturalization Service, and other public and private agencies.

It is evident that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts can look with
pride at its statewide progra m of sympathetic and mutually helpful assistance
to its citizens and residents of foreign origin.
